BBC Russian service is launching a new web page to coincide with the
10th anniversary of the ceasefire in the Nagorny Karabakh conflict.

Going live on bbcrussian.com on Wednesday 12 May, the Karabakh Page
will publish news and views from Russian-speakers in Armenia,
Azerbaijan and across the world.

Visitors to bbcrussian.com who take interest in the Karabakh conflict
and whose lives have been affected by it will have the chance to take
part in weekly online discussions.

In addition, the Karabakh Page will publish photos and personal
stories.

There is also a special section for people seeking to re-establish
contacts with old friends and neighbours.

The Karabakh page is done in partnership with the British NGO
Conciliation Resources, as part of the Consortium Initiative – a new
British Government-funded programme which aims to improve the
prospects for a settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
